Experts flew out to Burma yesterday in a bid to unearth dozens of missing British Spitfires thought to have been buried in the jungle at the end of the second world war.
They will search for unused unassembled aircraft which they believe were packed into crates and buried by the RAF in 1945.
At least 36 planes are thought to be lying undiscovered in Mingaladon – one of three potential sites in the country – with as many as 124 buried in total.
